Understanding CD/DVD Playback

In most cases, playing a CD or DVD is as simple as inserting a disc into your computer's CD or DVD drive. This should automatically launch a media player program, which should start playing your music or movie.

Which media player program you use depends on what's installed on your PC. Chances are your PC actually has multiple players installed, because most are available free. Some of the most popular media player programs include:

  • Apple iTunes (www.apple.com/itunes/)

  • Musicmatch Jukebox (www.musicmatch.com)

  • RealPlayer (www.real.com)

  • WinAmp (www.winamp.com)

  • Windows Media Player (www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/)
